Last day for the 2014 Ice Fest coming up. IMNSHO it's been a great one. We have had excellent ice conditions and great weather for a change. I think that the gals and guys at IME & IMCS did an amazing job putting all this together. It's so cool to go into work in the AM and see a great like Barry Blanchard standing there drinking coffee, chatting with folks with a big smile on his face obviously enjoying the scene and life in general. It was cool that he remembered meeting me in ohnson Canyon 10 years or so ago

I didn't go to any of the presentations 'cause I had to guide every day and I need my beauty sleep, but I hear they were great. What did you think?
